follow basic precautions, including the following: Read all instructions before using the dishwasher

o Use the dishwasher only for its intended function

o Use only detergents or rinse agents recom- mended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.

When loading items to be washed:

1)Locate sharp items so that they are not/keiy to damage the door seal; and

2)Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries°

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For'plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

o Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dish- washer turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

o Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
